Invoice Burr is greater than a “Paper Tiger” to comedy followers.
The Boston native’s counter-culture jokes helped pave the way in which to superstardom.
He wasn’t conservative by any means, however his willingness to name out woke’s insidious tentacles set him other than the comedy mainstream.
His 2019 Netflix particular “Paper Tiger” confirmed it. He was a part of a insurgent comedy motion alongside Tim Dillon, Shane Gillis, Theo Von, Tyler Fischer, Chrissie Mayr and extra.
Refreshing. Actual. Uncooked. Trustworthy.
Crucial.
After which Burr co-wrote, directed and starred in “Outdated Dads.”
The 2023 Netflix comedy solid him as an older father whose parenting model clashed with fashionable mores. The movie appeared like a stick within the eye to the woke scolds who helped bury nice R-rated comedies and canceled stand-up comics.
Suppose once more.
The movie’s closing moments pulled its punches, siding with the woke technology over Burr’s “outdated” stylings.
That was an indication.
Earlier this 12 months, Burr took a stupefying place on the raging California wildfires. He attacked anybody criticizing Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass for gross incompetence.
“[The fires] have been mismanaged? Like some fool on the Web is aware of tips on how to handle the worst hearth in LA? Sitting there in his underwear?” he instructed the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Stay.”
It’s not arduous to attach the dots. Story after story detailed the various methods California Democrats made the fires worse, from defunding native hearth fighters to calamitous water insurance policies. Newsom steered thousands and thousands to unlawful immigrants whereas hearth prevention insurance policies suffered.
Plus, any respected comedian would shred Bass for being overseas through the begin of the blaze.
Not Burr. He got here out wanting dumb, to be blunt.
Extra just lately, Burr blasted billionaires in essentially the most ignorant method potential.
“The quantity of individuals struggling on the market due to these f—ing billionaires, and so they received us all arguing liberal and conservative,” Burr mentioned. “We gotta cease doing that. I’m so bored with listening to about folks going to mattress fearful about what’s going to occur subsequent week.”
He was simply warming up. He mentioned folks now must work a couple of job at the moment to make ends meet. Why? Blame a billionaire.
“As a result of then the children don’t see their mother and father, and so they’re not getting the upbringing that they want. These f***ing billionaires… They must be put down like f***ing rabid canines,” Burr mentioned.
Comedy works greatest when there’s a kernel of reality on the middle. The place’s the reality in Burr’s rant? For what it’s price, the capitalistic system that yields these eeee-vil billionaires has been fairly good to Burr.
He additionally blamed billionaires for pitting People in opposition to one another. If he desires to level fingers he ought to begin with legacy media shops which routinely stoke dissent.
Keep in mind when reporters invented the time period “white hispanic” to gin up racial animus following the demise of Trayvon Martin? Or how they pushed the “arms up, don’t shoot” lie tied to Michael Brown’s 2014 demise?
Then, contemplate how far-Left platforms like late-night tv and “The View” work extra time to make us hate Purple State America.
Burr doesn’t care, apparently.

It wasn’t the primary time he comically threatened violence. He praised Luigi Mangione, the younger man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson late final 12 months.
“I like that f***ing CEOs are f***ing afraid proper now. Try to be! By and enormous, you’re all a bunch of egocentric grasping f—ing items of s***.”
It’s not simply billionaires in his crosshairs. It’s CEOs, too. Does he give these rants any thought in any respect?
Now, he’s slamming X proprietor Elon Musk in essentially the most incendiary approach potential. He in contrast Musk to Adolf Hitler, claiming Musk personally flagged one in all his X posts that mentioned the Tesla proprietor’s awkward inauguration strikes have been a Nazi salute.

“Simply think about doing that, deciding, ‘I’m gonna change this type of authorities as a result of I made a decision’ … he doesn’t thoughts residing beneath a dictatorship if he’s on the nice facet of it.”
What on earth is he speaking about? The harpies on “The View” wouldn’t stoop so low of their Musk assaults.
What occurred to him?
He even attacked Day by day Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro for rightfully calling out his pro-Luigi Mangione rant.
“I don’t know who he’s, however that man is a j***-off,” Burr mentioned in an interview with The New York Occasions this week. He dismissed Shapiro’s criticism as little greater than a money seize: “All he knew is that if he put ‘woke’ on what I mentioned, he would earn more money.”
Burr is taking a hard-Left flip, little doubt. That’s his prerogative.
The issue is twofold.
The nation is veering to the Proper following the excesses of progressive management. He finds himself each out of step and siding with a motion that has essentially misplaced its approach.
Extra importantly, is something in his current feedback remotely humorous? Offended? Sure. Ignorant? Positive. Sick-informed?
After all.
Humorous? Not a lot.
